This is my car with niche britanes! I guess this is very close to what 20's would look like, if the pic of the wheel was more chrome looking it would look a little better but which ones look better, I think the more round smooth look of these rims go with the car.

Default Or

The are Niche Milanos, I think the rims are cool, has about an inch lip also, may look a little better on a 2nd generation, if I decide to buy a 430 or somethin in the future.

CHMPNGS,

I think you expanded those rims to about a 24". Maybe ask the PShop mod to help you out with that.

Personally, I am not a big fan of the MHT Wheels.

Big negative.

Get some class rims...3 piece JDM or the like.

Save up for something good.

Late.

Rims are oval shaped on the chop, its alot wider than how 20's would look.

Default Wheels

Class rims? not sure what you mean, no disrespect to anybody with a GS but I know this GS is not a race car. And I think the 3 piece wheels you are referring to are a style for an import race car, not the look of my car at all. Of coarse everybody has their opinion and style, I know they are probably a little enlarged than 20's or maybe not perfectly round but it gives you an idea of what they would look like or maybe adding a different wheel to the mix because alot of cars on this site have the same fruckin wheels.

I'd have to say that Niches are pretty ugly, but that's just my personal opinion. Both of those Niche wheels remind me of the classic saying..."ballin' on a budget"

Default Niches

Your personal opinion is your own like plain painted rims why pay thousands to put wheels on your car that don't stand out, but how could plain fat 5 stars be ugly? Ballin on a budget, hahaha, the wheels are $750 a piece.

that look doesn't quite do it with me, at all. if you are spending $750 each, go to the wheels classifies in the "marketplace" and you see some very nice setups with tires for that same price.

either way, pick up something else if you're just pondering the niche
